Arnold – Scene Setup, Barrels

We then moved on to a scene that Conann had previously set up but he wen’t through with us how to build it. I don’t believe i’m the only one that struggled at that stage and we have been advised that its not a good idea to move onto the harder stuff like the lighting or the natural history museum tutorial until we can model a barrel in under 10 minutes which is fair enough so I got to practicing modelling basic shapes and trying out the insert edge loop tool to finally get the hang of it.

This is where things got tricky the image at the very bottom of this post is what Conann wanted us to create but I only got as far as the images in the screenshot due to poor modelling skills that held me back for the duration of the class which was a pitty as I didn’t actually learn that much arnold as I couldn’t even create the scenes needed to apply the renderer too.

This is the scene that Conann created and wanted us to duplicate so I may give it a try to make a better version of whatever that was I even made in class bad times.
